A new excuse for the sending of spam

I thought I had seen most of the excuses but this one tops them all.

I have never done an opt-in or an opt-out to this outfit.

Hi,

There was an error with the mailing list management that caused an 
advertisement to be sent to the \'opt-out\' list rather than the 
\'opt-in\' list. The offending net-block was null-routed as quickly as
possible, but many mails were still sent.

We apologize for the inconvenience, this problem should now be 
resolved.

-Chris
